Welcome

Hello! Welcome to the Worch Capital blog and our first post! Thank you for stopping by today. Hopefully, over time, the site becomes a daily "must see" for you.

Our goal is to create an engaging, thought-provoking and collegial environment that can serve as a daily resource in the effort to make sense of the markets.

We batted the blog idea around for months debating whether or not we could fill the space with enough worthwhile content. Ultimately, we decided we could and thought the project might be a great way to document the daily "spitballing" that goes on here in the office.

You can read more about us and the firm in the "About" tab but here's what you need to know: We're not trying to re-invent the wheel when it comes to investing. We use tried and true methods when observing the market and most definitely subscribe to the K.I.S.S. philosophy. We are not here to talk our book or convince anyone to mimic our methodologies. We believe there are infinite ways to make money in the market and no one strategy trumps all others. Although, we strongly believe that success in investing is found in finding a strategy that suits your own personality and staying extremely disciplined. With that in mind, we intend to share our insights on a wide range of market-related topics (broad market/industry observations, individual stock price action, quantitative analysis, risk management, fundamental and technical analysis, trade management, etc) and some current event and pop culture commentary when the mood strikes us.

This is most definitely a learning exercise for us and surely there will be bumps along the way. We don't know what it will look like or where it will end up but if we get even a little bit smarter and/or meet a few new friends, it will be time well spent.

Let's keep it agenda-free and light. And with that out of the way, here we go....We look forward to your contributions and feedback.
